Hotels in de buurt van Open strand (Abu Dhabi)

"as a family of four with a newborn baby we arrived at 13:30 and our room was ready at 17:30, this is unacceptable. THe room should be available at 15:00, as we are paying for the room to be available at 15:00 and are expected to leave on time as well. The hotel is very nice, pool and beach really great also great service at the pool and great quality of food"

"Ruime kamers, fantastisch personeel. Supermarkt naast hotel en je mag eten laten bezorgen van buitenaf. Mooi zwembad. Gelukkig verboden om “handdoekjes te leggen”. Wordt door personeel toch verwijderd! Jammer dat veel gasten te veel eten pakken welke niet wordt opgegeten. Wellicht laten betalen voor het geen zij laten staan. Prima prijs kwaliteit verhouding. Aanrader. "

"This is probably the most beautiful hotel I ever stayed in. The building and its architecture are unrivaled. From the beautiful outside to the minor details on the inside. The lobby is absolutely fabulous, and also the gym is well-equipped, including free cold bottles of water. We had a room in the Residence Tower, and it was comfortable and clean. We had a decent view from the room. So far so good, but this hotel has issues. I did not experience any 5-star experience when it comes to hospitality. Maybe it is because of the regular audience that visits the hotel. The staff is very professional, but that's it: professional - not welcoming. At check-in there were no smiles and the additional details like a certain rebate were not mentioned. In the restaurant where we went for breakfast: same thing. Professional, but not friendly. Hospitality is a thing here. Also, you would expect a 5-star hotel to cater to an international audience, but the power plugins are all Arabic and you need an adapter (supplied at request) to power your electronics (if you are from Europe or the USA). In modern hotels nowadays you will find USB plugs but not in this hotel, despite the 5 stars. We had decent breakfasts every morning, but definitely 5-star level. I had better breakfasts in Spain in 3-star hotels. Anyway, let's end positive. The guy at the towel station named Yusun was super friendly and welcoming, making me feel special as a guest. He proves that it possible, an example for the rest. "

"Zeer goed gelegen. Vriendelijk en zeer gedienstig personeel, zowel de kamermeisjes, receptie, restaurant … "

" Intercontinental is a great brand. I am a very frequent visitor and always loved my stays. But this hotel has 2 faces: services and people are on IHG level Good to great staff. But the accommodation has passed its shelf life; sleeping rooms, bath rooms and some public places are way below IC level. Some more explanation:The rooms - ours was on the Club floor - are in big need of complete renovation, there is too much silicone kit patchwork. Wear and tear is visible everywhere. Towels and bathrobes are sometimes torn and worn out. Bath room sink is too dirty(silicone again). Shower is not working properly. Wall plugs that are unstable. Telephone plug does not connect anymore to the phone etc etc. Here I stop. Small things but too many of them in this hotel. The whole hotel needs a revamp to bring it to the level of the great Intercontinental brand. I feel sorry for the well-trained , firendly and very attentive staff, but we will not come back in IC Abu Dhabi until it has been modernized "
